Thanks for the good advice guys. Think I'll stick with what I've got..............and save some money too.
Sounds like a good idea to me

I see loads of people riding bikes that are too small for them - it's more common than seeing people riding bikes that are too big, although I see that too!I got a bike fit done on my current bike recently.
The upshot is, it would appear my current bike may be on the small side!
My own fault really. Never had a fit before I bought the bike. Wish I had as I've now fallen out with the bike a bit now.
During the fit the saddle was raised, exposing quite a bit of seat post which now makes the frame look tiny. The fitter did say the bike fitted perfectly now. I asked if a larger framed model would suit me better to which he replied possibly.
Mrs OTD has gone mental!!! (As would be expected) However she has simmered and suggested I must sell my current bike before looking for anaother to offset the expense!
Trouble is I haven't a clue how much to sell it for. Seen a few Giant Defy Advanced 2's on eBay for around £1k. Mine is mint as I have OCD when it comes to my bikes.
Would £1000 be a valid price to ask for a mint example?

You are not alone in making that mistake but if you bought from a shop (rather than online) the shop should have prevented you from making such a mistake
between sizes means that neither are suitable and you need to look at a different bike completely - this is a very common mistake.
The thing is I did buy from a shop. The guy said I was between sizes and he felt the smaller frame suited me better, took his word for it.
It doesn't help that the new model is available, albeit a good bit more expensive but the brakes have been improved!
I guess I don't NEED the next model!
